We would like to share the tips with you for a happy and positive recruitment process

Confidentiality, always

Tip #1

Do not share details of a clinic presented to you to another third party, friend, colleague or other associate. This is private and confidential information. Names, contact information and email addresses should be kept strictly confidential.

Confidentiality, always

Be on time for interviews

Tip #2

Check time zones and make sure you set an alarm and can be available at the time the interview is arranged.

Be on time for interviews

Keeping in touch via email

Tip #3

Once we’ve started to work with you, we like to keep things professional and prefer email communication. Whatsapp and Messenger chats are hard to keep track of, but ok for staying in touch if you need us to check something.

Keeping in touch via email

We love to get feedback on your progress

Tip #4

If you have had an interview with a medical centre that’s been organised through our agency, please tell us how it went as soon as you can. This will allow us to go back to the practice quickly to get their feedback and to see if they want to proceed.

We love to get feedback on your progress

All communications with your prospective employer should come through us

Tip #5

Let us know if the practice has tried to contact you directly. They have signed and/or agreed to terms of business with us, and all contact should be via our agency. Please forward any correspondence to us and do not communicate directly with any staff without copying us into the email or letting us know if they have tried to contact via phone, social media or messenger apps.

All communications with your prospective employer should come through us

Be Transparent

Tip #6

If you have had other interviews with clinics or other agencies that you’re working with, please share the details with us. This helps us as we’ll avoid approaching those clinics and we’ll be able to provide professional consultation on the best option for you and your family.

Be Transparent

The advantages of working with us exclusively

Tip #7

It might seem that working with multiple recruitment agencies gives you a better chance of securing your ideal job more quickly. But there are downsides for both you and your prospective employer. By developing a good relationship with one recruiter, they’ll really get to know you and seek out job opportunities that will be a perfect fit. For the clinic, it can be frustrating receiving multiple CVs and approaches from different agencies about the same person. Unfortunately, this gives an unprofessional image of you before you even speak to them.

The advantages of working with us exclusively

As your exclusive recruiter, you have our undivided attention

Tip #8

We are only paid once a successful placement is made, so please be considerate of our staff and their time. We’re committed to investing our time in you, which is a risk to us and our clients if you are using multiple agencies.

As your exclusive recruiter, you have our undivided attention

Please be open and honest

Tip #9

This will help us determine how serious you are about a position we have put forward. It also means we know where you’re at in the recruitment process. It’s our job to support and advise you on securing the right job and conditions that suit your needs. Unfortunately, sometimes clinics will not be honest or act in good faith if you go direct.

Please be open and honest

Candidates do not pay for the recruitment services

Tip #10

To be clear, you should not have to pay a fee for registering and working with a recruitment agency. If you’re asked to do so, this is a ‘red flag’ to avoid that agency. We receive our fee from the clinic once a successful placement is made. For other services, such immigration, and additional paperwork or documentation work, there usually is a fee. Rest assured, we’ll be transparent about any fee for service we provide.

A few basic interview tips

Tip #11

Putting your ‘best foot forward’ increases your chances of success when you’re applying for jobs. Please wear professional clothes and attire, be polite, and make sure you’ve researched the clinic and area before interviews. Do not wear hats or hoods unless it is a religious requirement. Do not eat during interviews and try to avoid background noise and family members interrupting when you’re on calls with a clinic.

We’re on your side!

Tip #12

The process of migration and finding the right role can take a bit of time as we help you through the paperwork, processing and compliance requirements. We ask you to please treat our staff with respect and courtesy when dealing with them, by phone, in person or written communication.

We’re on your side!

We look forward to helping you through the process and working with you as closely as possible to achieve the best possible outcome.

Client Testimonials

Here’s how we helped others find their ideal GP job in Australia

I contacted Trust Medical Recruitment agency to find a position as a GP under supervision in a rural area. I was willing to get back to my career as a GP. They provide me with the requirements for the position I was looking for. I felt very excited and relieved that I can start working again in Australia in my field. It helped me with financial support and now I can proceed with getting my training as a GP. [Trust Medical Recruitment’s service] was really helpful and it provided support all through the process. I am really grateful, especially to Jessica Fryett-Tigges.

Dr Mayado Shammo

I was looking to get into GP practice and needed an experienced agency to help me with this. I received background information about the area and the GP practice, and the guidance regarding what was needed to apply to AHPRA and regarding RDN grants was very helpful. I felt very excited about starting my career in Australia. Starting my dream career as a GP has been so fulfilling and it gives me an opportunity to serve the community and a great pathway to gain my Fellowship in the future. The Australian healthcare [system] is one of the world’s best and I would recommend anyone wanting to pursue their career here. Trust Medical Recruitment has great knowledge and experience in the field and I would recommend them to get into a job in the healthcare sector. Their organising skills and paperwork were amazing!
